Swansea Ramblers Walk


Llandeilo and Dinefwr
A 4-mile walk in the rain!

5th November 2022

Leader: Lynne Esson




Swansea Ramblers braved the weather forecast and travelled to Llandeilo for a lovely walk in the rain!   There is no such thing as bad weather, (just bad clothing), so we kept nice and dry in our waterproofs and had a lovely day out exploring Dinefwr from a different angle.   After the walk, we visited the White Horse in Llandeilo to sample the local ale and enjoy a get together in the warmth of the bar.   Thanks Lynne for another great day out walking the countryside!   



Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.

Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.

Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?
- Come with Swansea Ramblers!

If you'd like to try a Swansea walk then do come along and find out what the great outdoors is all about.

It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you.
You'll be very welcome to join us for three free walks.

If you enjoy walking with us and want to come on even more of our walks, just become a member.

When you join us for a Swansea Walk, ask us about the other walks and social events we do.
